Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement one by one for accuracy:

1. If a round analog clock featuring numbers 1-12 is hung on the wall upside down, the minute hand will point to the right of the viewer when the clock reads two forty-five.

   • When the clock reads 2:45, the minute hand is on the 9, and the hour hand is slightly past the 2. If the clock is upside down, the minute hand (pointing to 9) would be pointing to the left of the viewer. Therefore, False.

2. If the word, "quane," is understood to mean the same as the word, "den," then the following sentence is grammatically correct: "Looking out from my quane, I could see a wolf enter quane."

   • The sentence has a grammatical error because the second use of "quane" should be preceded by "the" for clarity (it should say "enter the quane"). Therefore, False.

3. If Richard looks into a mirror and touches his left ear with his right hand, Richard's image seems to touch its right ear with its left hand.

   • When Richard touches his left ear with his right hand, the mirror image will show the opposite: the image appears to touch its right ear with its left hand. Therefore, True.

4. If you leave the letters in the same order, but rearrange the spaces in the phrase, "Them eats on," it can be read as, "Theme at son."

   • Rearranging the spaces in "Them eats on" does not yield "Theme at son." Instead, it can only create "Them eats on" in different configurations but not change the letters or order of the letters. Therefore, False.

So the answers are:

1. False
2. False
3. True
4. False
